Too narrow, hidden, minimal feedback…

    It’s so much easier to just drag a scrollbar than use the mouse wheel to go past 1000s of lines - especially if you know how far down the bit you want is!

      This is true for some things, but I still much prefer a ToC or a textual search, index, etc. for the majority of cases.

      I find myself much more frequently ctrl+f -ing my way to content than doing scroll-and-scan nowadays.

          NGL, it is lit. But it’s kind of in minimap territory where you don’t actually need a scrollbar to give the same info. Definitely helps with seeing the density of results in certain areas of long docs

      That is absolutely correct. Anyone who’s done office work or computer work with huge documents knows the true value of the classic scrollbar.

      It is superior to the scroll wheel because it gives more powerful control over the same function, but since it is slightly harder to use than the wheel, the lazy users avoid it for mundane tasks.
